On the Ignored Resources page, you can specify file name patterns to exclude from the version control management system.
There is a list of file patterns against which resources will be matched before they are
considered as version control candidates.&nbsp;
These patterns may contain the wildcard characters "*" and "?".&nbsp; This
pattern "*"
represents any sequence of zero or more characters.&nbsp; This pattern "?" represents any one
character.&nbsp; For example, you can specify a pattern of "*~", which would match
any temporary files that end with "~".&nbsp;&nbsp; Any file or directory that matches any one of the
patterns will be ignored during&nbsp; catch up or release operations.&nbsp;
<P CLASS="Para">
To add a file type to the ignore list, simply click on the Add button. In
the dialog, enter a file type (e.g. *.class). To remove a file type from the ignore list, simply select the
file type in the ignore list and click on the Remove button.&nbsp;</P>
<P CLASS="Para">
You can temporarily disable ignoring the
file pattern by de-selecting it from the list; you do not have to remove the
specified file pattern from the list.</P>
